Senator John Fetterman has been released from a hospital near Washington where he underwent six weeks of treatment for depression, his office said Friday night.

“I am extremely grateful to the incredible team at Walter Reed. The care they provided changed my life,” Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, said in a statement. “I will have more to say about this soon, but for now I want everyone to know that depression is treatable, and treatment works.”
